How to Make Creamy Black Bean Salsa

  1. Dice 1 red bell pepper and 1/2 medium red onion.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 (15-ounce) can black beans (rinsed and drained), 1 cup frozen corn (thawed), the diced red bell pepper, and the diced red onion. Add 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup sour cream, 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons lime juice (or white vinegar), 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, and salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Pour the creamy dressing over the black bean mixture and gently toss to combine.
  5. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld (though it's delicious immediately!).
  6. Serve chilled with your favorite tortilla chips or toasted pita wedges.
